In our latest ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ต-๐ช๐ฏ-๐ต๐ฆ๐ค๐ฉ episode, Yitzy Tannenbaum and David Leichner sat down with Benjamin Nye, six-time Forbes ๐ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ investor and Managing Partner at Venture Guides, who has helped launch and scale eight companies that reached $๐ญ๐+ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐.
Ben has helped build category-defining companies including LinkedIn, Docusign, Rapid7, and IBM SevOne. What makes his perspective especially powerful is his optimism grounded in real experience. After multiple technology cycles, he sees enormous opportunity ahead, especially for founders building with intention rather than hype.
Three ideas that stood out:
โข Every new technology wave creates space for entirely new category-defining companies
โข The strongest founders win by obsessing over customers and building exceptional teams around a clear mission
โข AI is enabling a new generation of software companies designed from day one for speed, learning, and scale
If you are serious about customers, building exceptional teams, and thinking big, Ben would love to hear from you at Venture Guides.
